That's a good looking steering wheel.

I took the 1” drop blocks out and no more rubbing. I’ll revisit this in the future, but for now it’s good. Now I’m going to spend some time getting Walter running & driving.

Walter is my one owner (previous to me) 1968 C10 SWB 2wd. I’ve got a complete PorterBuilt touring dropmember’ed chassis with accuair. He’ll be powered by a mild’ish EFI 468 with a built 700r4, 3.42/Eaton equipped 12 bolt. And 14” 6-piston front and 13” 4-piston rear Wilwood brakes will handle the slowing down portion. Dakota Digital gauges, painless wiring harness, etc for the inside. And, He will keep his patina.

Here’s a new pic from a recent outing with my wife. I do love it.

After several hundred miles, I know I need more tire out back. So, I’m going to try the Detroit Speed mini tub kit for a 64-1/2 to 70 Mustang. I also decided to move forward on fitting the fikse FM10’s and ordered new inner barrels for the future fronts to make them into 8”

Cool stuff, man! Thought I'd give you some motivation (or the opposite) with a pic of my dirty bird:
